Innovative Skylight Fall Protection: Kee Cover’s Advantages


When it comes to ensuring rooftop safety, particularly around skylights, Kee Cover offers an innovative and robust skylight protection solution. As one of the leading products by Kee Safety, Kee Cover stands out in the market for skylight fall protection due to its unique design and numerous benefits.

Why Skylight Protection is Essential

Falls from height are a significant cause of workplace injuries and fatalities. Skylights, which are often indistinguishable from the roof surface, pose a substantial risk if not adequately protected. Workers with roof access require comprehensive fall protection solutions to ensure their safety. Unprotected skylights can lead to severe accidents, especially when workers need to access the roof for maintenance or other tasks. Hence, building owners have a duty to ensure that these potential hazards are mitigated effectively.

Additionally, the use of fall arrest systems and security harnesses is crucial when working near skylights and fragile surfaces to ensure worker safety and satisfaction.

Key Advantages of Kee Cover

1. Robust Design

Kee Cover is engineered to provide a strong and effective barrier over skylights on metal profile roofs without compromising the light they let into the building. The mesh panels sit on a sturdy metal frame made from Kee Klamp fittings and Size 5 tubes, ensuring durability and reliability on metal roofs and other fragile surfaces.

2. Compliance and Safety

Kee Cover meets the highest safety standards. It is tested in accordance with the ACR Red Book and BS EN 1873, ensuring it can withstand significant impact forces without failing. This rigorous testing ensures that Kee Cover provides reliable fall protection, retaining the drop mass and preventing any gaps larger than 300mm within the mesh. This makes it an effective solution for skylight fall protection, protecting against falls through fragile skylights and roof lights​.

 

3. Ease of Installation

One of the standout features of Kee Cover is its ease of installation. The system is designed to be assembled in-situ, meaning it is delivered in component form, which simplifies transportation to the roof level. This approach not only makes the installation process more straightforward but also reduces overall costs. Additionally, the system's components, including mesh panels, are hot dip galvanised for enhanced durability.

4. Adaptability

Kee Cover is highly adaptable and can be used on various types of roofs, including trapezoidal and standing seam roofs. It is available in two formats: one that fixes flat to the roof surface and one that is raised above the skylight. This flexibility allows it to be used over different shaped roof lights and provides an additional layer of protection by preventing the skylight from being damaged in the event of a fall​.

5. Durability

All components and mesh panels are hot dip galvanised, enhancing their durability and longevity. Unlike some materials that may become brittle over time, Kee Cover’s metal frame ensures long-term performance and safety. Additionally, the mesh panels do not block out light, allowing the building to maintain natural light while ensuring safety and not blocking light​​.

6. Versatility with Extension Panels

Kee Cover also offers extension panels, allowing for extended width and lengths to be covered, ensuring comprehensive protection solutions for various roof assemblies. This makes it suitable for both rectangular skylights and other configurations, offering a variable height facility to accommodate different shaped roof lights​​.
